Details:

Sometimes, when I build and install Octave, its hg id in ver shows up as
"unknown".

Looking at the build logs, it looks like an HG-ID file is there. This is from
"make install":

Octave successfully built.  Now choose from the following:

   ./run-octave    - to run in place to test before installing
   make check      - to run the tests
   make install    - to install
(PREFIX=/usr/local/Cellar/octave-stable/stable)

   HG ID for this build is "unknown"

I'm building under Homebrew with `brew tap octave-app/octave-app-bases; brew
install octave-stable`.

Here's the build formula:

And full build logs for one of my builds that has an "unknown" hg id:
